Belinda Huijuan Tang, A MAP FOR THE MISSING

Zibby interviews debut author Belinda Huijuan Tang about A Map for the Missing, a mesmerizing and propulsive intergenerational mystery about a math professor who, after ten years in America, returns to rural China to search for his missing father. Belinda reveals that the novel is based on her own great-grandfather’s disappearance and explains how each element of the story draws on her own family’s history. She also talks about the publishing process and how she became a writer in the first place (it involved quitting a very boring cubicle job, studying in China, and attending the Iowa Writer’s Workshop!). You can meet Belinda in person on February 19 at 12 pm ET at Zibby’s Bookshop, where she will be signing books!Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3YhJ5KMSubscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter here.Purchase Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books merch here.** If you enjoy recommending things you love and even earning from it, you have to become a creator on ShopMy!
